Aroma is of citrus and pine hops with some caramel malts. Flavor wasn’t as thick as I was hoping it would be. But it was every thing I expected from the aroma. Slightly bitter finish.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 3, 2007 Bomber from Bottle Barn; Nose of grassy hops; Lightly hazed copper with a big yellowish head that slowly receded and heavily laced the glass; flavor of hop bitterness balanced by light caramel with the finish staying lightly bitter. Not a hop bomb but good in both malts and hops! hayduke (1654), Eureka, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 15, 2007 From a 22 oz bottle this poured a nice orange to copper color and raised a nice slightly off-white head. Great lacing left behind that looked like a lace tablecloth. Nose is floral hops and very clean. Mouthfeel is rich and it feels good in the back of the throat. Flavor is caramel malts with lots of those floral hops and a hint of citrus. Finish bitter. A well hopped APA, and very easy to drink. I tried this both chilled to 45 degrees and at cellar temperatures. Cold was somewhat better.
